As a resident of Washington State, I love to support our state any way I can. In particular, Pickelball! The black visor with the Players logo is a nice touch to go with maroon Players sweatshirt. I primarily purchased the visor instead of a hat due to its lightweight and protects my vision from oncoming balls both indoors and out.

So, I've played the Rogue2Carbon E since it was first available. As often happens, someone will try mine and not want to return it! I did manage to keep one in the rotation for about 18 months, treating myself to a new one only when someone "kept" mine. I've found all the R2Carbons to be very consistent, even after hours and hours of play over months. Usually when I get a new one in my possession, I find I can switch between the "older" one and the new one without a thought...they are just that consistent.
As some folks know, I play my paddles around 9-9.2oz, so I'm usually adding lead tape from the hips to shoulders to achieve this final weight.(Players has sent me paddles that are on the higher end of spec...or even a little heavier).
This Ultra came in at 8.5 and I'm playing it at this weight. Somehow, the impact feels like a heavier paddle; but without the extra weight added. It is even more solid and plush than my earlier E models...not that it was needed!!!
This is a super cool "improvement" for those who can handle a little extra weight and want maybe the most solid-feeling paddle around!!!
Really great paddle and this is just another example of the great products coming from Players!!!

This our 5th paddle from Player’s Pickleball and they are all Great! Love the playability and control and the great value! I bought this paddle for my wife … but, when I tried it out, it seemed that I was able to “carve” the ball, not just spin it! Thanks Player’s!

love this paddle! 3 for my friends bought it too because they used mine and quickly fell in love with it… it works perfectly for vibration control and has a lot of power with amazing control … my wife became significantly better at the net the first time she used her… then one guy I was playing with wanted to look at my paddle because he couldn’t hear it… i hadn’t noticed, but it’s noticeably quieter… all around awesome!!! NO regrets!!!

I love playing with my Rogue2E (Elongated) Gel Core. Many of my fellow players have also switched to this wonderful paddle.

So far so good. I did overgrip the handle for extra comfort.

Getting used to it - seems to have a little more punch than my Rogue 2E that I’ve been playing with - once I’m fully comfortable with it’s characteristics I’ll be better able to fully sing its’ praises - but so far thus was a good choice - I think it’s a real winner.

This is the third paddle I have purchased from Players. I had a chronic tennis elbow problem a couple of years ago and was drawn to the gel core vibration dampening design of the Rogue 2. My tennis elbow cleared up within a couple of weeks. Wife started getting tennis elbow, Bought her one and it cleared as well. Got a great deal on a demo Selkirk power air. After a couple of months, the tennis elbow was back. Purchased the Rogue2 carbon and tennis elbow gone. Love the spin and control. Great product, Great customer service, made in America at a great price. Players player for life!

I have only been playing pickleball for four months, but upgrading to this paddle has truly improved my game. Unlike my prior paddle, this one is lightweight and the elongated design gives me just enough stretch. Great investment.

I've been using Players' paddles for years. When my new paddle arrived I took to the court to try some drills. I was actually surprised by the additional power on the serves. This paddles weighs about 8.3 and definitely packs a punch while still proving touch. Nice improvement if you found yourself adding weight to the previous model.

I had contacted Players Pickleball to inform them that my brown grip was not nearly as tacky as my friend's black grip just in case they weren't aware, but I assumed they were. They sent me a black grip at no charge even though the brown grip was still otherwise functional. Top notch customer service-oriented company!

My favorite paddle is the Rogue2 Carbon Hybrid shape Gel Core. There's excellent control and plenty of power with this paddle. The surface creates fine spin. All this at a much lower price than paddles of similar quality. I love that I know the local owners through previous sales, and they provide incredible customer service. They have a super demo program so you can try out paddles before you buy! Such a great local company. I highly recommend their paddles.

I like the longer handle and the paddle grip. No vibration when you hit the ball.

This was a steal of a deal for a fine beginners paddle! I'll be using these to teach some new beginners how to play pickleball, so expect it to be abused as people learn to play this game. It's a perfect tool for learning the game and at this price I could buy multiple paddles. I honestly couldn't see any blemishes! Thanks Players Pickleball for these great entry level paddles!

This paddle is great. My previous gel core hybrid was really good but the Ultra Core is better. I find the paddle to be more stable and more vibration damping. I have a partially torn rotator cuff and this paddle really helps eliminate vibration pain and allows me to play during recovery. Solid, Quick, Great Spin and plenty of power.
